With the addition of the cargo pack, my airplane was reweighed at the last annual:
3,006 @ 140.3
The mechanic and I both did the... "that cannot be right." So, we weighed it again the next day, were careful with the setup, and came out to the same numbers.
I read about the accumulation of debris and fluid traces in the hull over time, and what looks like nothing amounts to something. Mud daubers are a big thing in many locations; we pulled about 130 lbs of mud nests out of the wings of my patrol plane. I kept one because it was so perfect!
